“What did he say?" Hazel asked.
"With the cussing removed? He said he can get us to the top," Percy replied.”

“For a moment, Nico felt like a little kid again. He was tempted to blurt out, That’s so cool! Even before he got into Mythomagic, he’d been obsessed with pirates. Probably that was one reason he’d been so smitten with Percy, a son of the sea god.”

“Pluto's pauldrons,” Reyna cursed.”

“People of Earth, I come in peace!”

"You're a genius," I (Percy) told Annabeth.”

"I thought you'd want to know."
"Yeah?"
"Cerberus? He's saying we've got ten seconds to pray to the god of our choice. After that… well… he's hungry.”

“Right.” Sadie looked dazed. “You’ve got a monkey butler. Why not?”

“Leo waited while the fish centaur put away his supplies. Aphros's lobster-claw horns kept swimming around in his thick hair, and Leo had to resist the urge to try and rescue them.”

“Besides, you're a cat. It's your nature to think you're the center of the universe.”

“I mean, five gods in one stomach—dang. That's enough for doubles tennis, including a ref. They'd been down there so long, they were probably hoping Kronos would swallow down a deck of cards or a Monopoly game.”

“It's natural to feel fear. All great warriors are afraid. Only the stupid and the delusional are not…”

“Tyson! Thank the gods, Annabeth is hurt!"

“Percy grunted. “Believe me, some days I regret the choice. Oh, you want to turn down our offer? Okay, fine! ZAP! Lose your memory! Go to Tartarus!”

“[Iris] squeezed his hand. "Don't lose hope, Frank. Rainbows always stand for hope.”

“He remembered his home now, and that gave him new determination to succeed. He was fighting for two camps now -- two families.”
